If you tuned in late to Thursday’s win over Indiana, you might have wondered who was that guy in the loud, floral-print jacket on the sideline.
Well, Lakers coach Luke Walton was one of the many across the NBA honoring late broadcaster Craig Sager, who passed away from leukemia in December 2016, by mimicking the Hall of Famer’s one-of-a-kind style.
“I got more compliments on this jacket than any one I’ve worn,” Walton said before teasing another Sager-inspired jacket for Friday’s game versus Dallas.

The Lakers’ Spectrum SportsNet broadcast team was also in on the action, as play-by-play announcer Bill Macdonald, color commentator Stu Lantz and sideline reporter Mike Trudell joined with some flare of their own.
